Virtual OneStop® 

(VOS) Sapphire

The Nation’s Only Fully-Integrated Workforce Development Solution

Trusted By More Than Half of the United States

 

Since it first launched in 1998, Virtual OneStop has changed the way state and local employment agencies have delivered services to job seekers and employers. In late 2020, Virtual OneStop was overhauled with exciting new functionality and rebranded as Virtual OneStop® (VOS) Sapphire. For almost 25 years, the system has evolved and established itself as the only comprehensive online software on the market to encompass a full suite of components that fulfill the requirements of labor exchange, case management, labor market information, service tracking, fund management, provider services, and federal reporting.

A Future-Proof, Cost-Effective Software-as-a-Service Model

That Provides Multiple Benefits to Workforce Development Agencies and Partners

Government agencies, non-profits, and their respective partners, benefit from Virtual OneStop’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) operating model – as it is not only cost effective, but also easy to deploy and maintain. Geographic Solutions first introduced this model to the workforce industry with our subscription offering in 1999. We currently support this exact model in over 30 state workforce systems. Our SaaS model allows agencies to completely eliminate any reliance on their own technical resources – requiring no additional hardware or third-party software purchases and eliminating the need for a webmaster, system administrator, on-staff programmer, database expert. Our technical support staff provide all required infrastructure support, database management services, and system updates.

 

VOS Sapphire, and all other Geographic Solutions SaaS software, is offered under annual or multi-year agreements for hosting, maintenance, and upgrades, thus accommodating future technology refreshes, product evolution, and any updates required to comply with changes in applicable laws. In addition to our time-tested SaaS model deployed in our own private cloud environment, Geographic Solutions can provide the same level of performance, reliability, and flexibility with system implementations on a public cloud service as those systems privately-hosted by Geographic Solutions.

 

Geographic Solutions currently supports the SaaS model in over 30 state workforce systems across the country.
